The X-ray Output Detector
provides a means of calibrating and trouble shooting x-ray generators. The
Detector output is designed to be connected directly to an oscilloscope. The
x-ray waveform can be observed to find a wide variety of problems inherent in
x-rays. X-ray waveforms can be documented by using a digital scope, a storage
scope or an oscilloscope camera.

The detector is simply placed in the x-ray beam,
then the BNC connector on the end of the cable is connected to a standard
oscilloscope. The resulting oscilloscope display represents the intensity-time
relationship of the x-ray beam.
